The Legend of Brake Pads: The Stopping Power You Need
When it comes to the word ‘legend,' few things actually live up to the definition. John Wooden was a legend. Richard Pryor was a legend. And Donald Trump's hair is legendary.
Cars are trucks are no different. They're constructed of countless parts and pieces that form systems. These systems work together to make the vehicle go and most people are unaware of just how complex the systems at work really are…until something breaks down. Of all the parts on your vehicle, brake pads can definitely be considered a legendary development in the history of auto manufacturing.
Modern vehicles make use of a two-part brake system that is made up of a disc or rotor and the brake caliper assemblies – more commonly known as "disc brakes." The caliper assemblies contain hydraulic pistons which push against the back of the brake pads, clamping them together around the spinning rotor. The harder they clamp together, the more friction is generated. Unlike the opening sequence of the Flintstones, the braking process has very little to do with your feet. It's actually the increase in friction between the rotor and the brake pads that creates kinetic energy, slowing your vehicle down.
As the word friction may imply, your brakes are constantly in a state of wear. From the moment you drive off with a new set of brake pads, they begin to wear out. Of all the brake pads currently on the market, ceramic brake pads make the ideal replacement. Forged from copper, ceramic brake pads withstand wear better than their steel counterparts through a more effective heat transfer. In addition, they cool faster, last longer and are virtually silent, generating sound outside the range of human hearing. Even better, the dust created by ceramic brake pads is light in color, preserving the gleam of your chrome wheels by preventing that black chalky discoloration. Performance-grade brake pads, like Chevy Malibu brake pads, surpass their stock counterparts in durability by 20 - 40 percent. They're engineered from high-tech composite materials and provide a simple, direct replacement for those underperforming stock pads. Brake kits are engineered to your unique make, model and year, delivering increased friction while conforming to the manufacturer's standards for noise, vibration, durability and fit.
To ensure the longest life for your brake pads, another option would be to pair them with performance-grade brake calipers. Used in conjunction, these components deliver up to 30 percent more braking power than stock parts. Constructed of light-weight, aerospace-grade, billet aluminum and stainless steel pistons, a high-end brake caliper resists corrosion and also fights off high temperatures.
